Scott being a True Alpha is very poorly explained in the show. Because the dialogue talks about how he's "pure of heart" and "such a good person" and all that, and it comes off as very twee and forced. Because it kind of is. But it's also not what sets Scott apart from other Alphas.

The shortest way I can put it, is that Derek and other 'traditional' Alphas command or at least try to. Scott leads. He delegates, he trusts, he guides, but (outside of ooc moments *cough* S5 *cough) never declares himself the one true authority from whom all must take orders.

Look at how Derek treats his Betas (presumably in the vein of the way he saw Betas treated when he was growing up): they're basically subordinates to him, he gives orders, trains them without ever letting the barrier slip between teacher and student, he assigns specific instructions, and generally acts in an almost militaristic structure.

Comparatively, Scott will give Liam or Malia a task and let them do it how they please. Scott asks Liam to work on a couple tasks in S6A, A. Protecting the students from the Ghost Riders, and B. Think about a possible path to stopping them. It's Liam (and Mason, and Hayden, and Corey) that comes up with the plan to hide the students in the Mountain Ash lined McCall House and they come up with trying to create a lightning rod and retrieving Theo to see if he can help with it. Part of Scott doing stuff like that can be attributed to him not being as experienced or thinking ahead as much, but there's a reason he keeps succeeding where others fail: he knows when he isn't good at something. He defers to Derek on werewolf issues because he knows Derek is more knowledgeable. He lets Malia do her thing most of the time (within reason) because she's good at it, and most of the time trying to force her to do things a different way just makes things not work as well. He relies on Stiles and Lydia to be the brains because he's well aware that he isn't.

And that's not to say he doesn't make an effort. The AP Biology plotline is important because it does show that Scott is not a natural braniac the way Stiles and Lydia are, but he's willing to work when he isn't automatically adept at something. That's also shown in the skills he displays on the lacrosse field. Werewolf powers obviously help him excel, but he also works hard to be good at the sport in particular (as shown when he doesn't do as well after a lapse in practicing).

Scott trusting in his allies, seeing the best in them, and allowing them the freedom to use their personal talents to the fullest is what makes him a good leader and a True Alpha. People follow him because he takes them as they are and doesn't try to force them into his mold.

So in short, Scott is a True Alpha, there's a good reason for it, it's just not the reason the dialogue tells you.

Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral
